Can Wista 45SP be installed a 90mm lens when closed

[khtwo]

Can Wista 45SP be installed a 90mm lens when closed? How about 135mm? What other lens can be installed when closed? Please tell your experience. Thanks!

Perhaps a 90mm angulon could be closed in it. I doubt any other could be since they tend to get big.

One modern 90mm won't even phisically fit through the hole in the front standard because it has too large a rear element. Closing any modern 90mm would not be possible.

135 and 150 on recessed boards will fit.

The Congo f6.3 90mm WA lens may fit when you close the camera. The tiny lens is a wide field gauss design (four elements in four groups) comparable to the WF Ektars but only has about a 175mm image circle at f22. The newer lenses are multicoated but you may have to test to find one that is sharp toward the edges. Bob Salomon may argue that the Congo WA lenses are not a modern design however.

Thanks. Do you have the specification of 45SP that specify the width and leight of a lens that can be accepted when closed?

The 150mm Apo Sironar S would be about the largest lens possible if mounted on a recessed board. A 135mm Apo Sironar S would be about the largest on a flat board.

You can check the lens specifications on the Linos web site or we can mail you the brochure if you are in the USA.

Can you please give me the URL of the lens speifications. Thanks!

Also, here is a link to the information on the Congo lenses, check for the Congo f6.3 90mm Congo WA:

Hope this helps.

Those lens that in small size seems don't have enough ability to tilt or shift. It's better to choose the maximum lens(or max shiftable) that in the limitation of the camera case when folded.

I keep a Rodenstock 150 Sironar-N folded up inside
my Wista VX. Very similar to the SP.
